look at them, reverse moonwalking #monsterdon

They got the Martian heat ray (idle mode) from the War of the Worlds in the background. #Monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social But it's in the cigarette room!
#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

“…what if we tickle it?” #monsterdon

So the foot wound gave him a funky Martian infection? ...Is this monster a vampire Komodo dragon? #Monsterdon

Violet seems to be enjoying watching me watch #Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

#Cat

"Damn. Knew we shouldn't have made the airlocks out of tinfoil." #Monsterdon

:bing: edible fluid
NSFW

#monsterdon

@sneaka two minutes of "I demand that I may or may not be Broomfondle" and that monster would be begging for the grave! #Monsterdon

Mmmmmmmm edible fluid #monsterdon #ittheterrorfrombeyondspace

This is why you don't shop at Payless Shoes, man :/ #Monsterdon

why don't we just leave the hatch closed instead of opening it and taunting the monster?

#monsterdon

As 50s alien monster masks go, it’s really quite good. #Monsterdon

I thought the monster's voice was muffled because the sound sucks, no! It's literally the GUY WEARING THE MASK MAKING RAWR NOISES XD XD XD #Monsterdon

Maybe they shouldn't have brought the bendy guns

#Monsterdon

Explosions do nothing but it doesn't like the smoke. Time to find the smokes and light them up, lads.

#monsterdon

Did I miss the part where It! bursts our of John Hurt's chest?

#Alien

oh good, the ship is filling with smoke. that seems fine

#monsterdon

@blue they are both traditionally misogynized characters but they also seem to be doctors and the men are taking their input seriously? i don't know what their status is in the patriarchy time machine #monsterdon

"the usual reason an intelligent creature kills"
well, i'm being made to watch these movies, see... (^_^)
#monsterdon

@msh Sure, on the Wile E. Coyote deck. #Monsterdon

A doctor AND a barista? This is the future.

#monsterdon

also GRENADES? do they have crates of dynamite too?! #Monsterdon

"Every bone in his body is broken. But I don't think that's what killed him."

Space travel can be tough.

#Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

#monsterdon Ah the good old days when every spaceship had its own stash of WW-II surplus grenades, you know, just in case

"should we take a crate of grenades with us on the spaceship?"

"of course, as long as we still have room for cigarettes"

#monsterdon

GRENADES!? What the hell did they expect to do on Mars?? #Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorfromBeyondSpace

*Ramones voice* Gino is a space monster, Gino is a space monster #monsterdon

@sneaka yeah but the one who looks like a giant space monster is an easy suspect

#Monsterdon

For an interplanetary expedition, they sure don't seem to have put a lot of thought into how they're utilizing the space available

#monsterdon

Cartons and cartons of cigarettes. On a spaceship that's going to be closed up for months.

No wonder the walls are that stained-tar color.

#Monsterdon

imma smoke in the air generation room

#monsterdon

kitty tapped out. #monsterdon #ittheterrorfrombeyondspace

All these stairs and circular floors on top of each other remind me of the rocket ship slide of my youth.

#monsterdon

This is definitely the least fit crew I've seen in a space movie.

#Monsterdon

this is where you could really use those Star Trek badges that tell you where a person is anywhere on the ship. #monsterdon

"Space is haunted." <cocks gun>
#Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

What's worse, these gender roles, or the Wayland-Katami Corporation? #monsterdon

Nice to see Giant Claw from Attack of the Crab Monsters reprising his role ...

#Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

Giant claw says "HI!"

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

monster appears, makes a chess move, disappears #monsterdon

Bullet points.... literally #Monsterdon

Rubber monster! Rubber monster!

#Monsterdon

"Mars is almost as big as Texas" HAHAHAHAHAHA

#Monsterdon

I knew I recognized that name! Jerome Bixby wrote the Star Trek episode introducing a little thing called the Mirror Universe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome_Bixby #Monsterdon

@LK_877 in our universe Mars is Van Dyke Brown #Monsterdon

There's so much *room* on this ship. And all that lab glassware just sitting on a table. No sudden course changes on *this* ship, no sirree!

#Monsterdon

Has the movie started? Sorry, I can never tell if 50s sci-fi movies have started or not without a summary introduction by The Amazing Criswell ...

@secretlybatman yeah same! it's been a few years for me #monsterdon

Whatever, Astro Perry Mason. #Monsterdon

TRIVIA FROM BEYOND SPACE
On TCM, John Carpenter said that filming this movie took only 6 days. (He did not direct the movie)

#Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

Did we just have a scene with food? I saw the women grabbing the plates (because apparently the men couldn't be arsed to bus their own dishes OF COURSE) but I didn't see any actual food there? #Monsterdon

All those computers on the wall, and fella still uses a slide rule.

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

"Anybody want some coffee?"

#Monsterdon

This is a rewatch for me.
If memory serves from my previous viewing, you can definitely tell the writers of Alien saw this one #Monsterdon

#monsterdon it's 1973 and women can be astronauts (who serve breakfast to the men astronauts)!

They have a space waitress? #monsterdon

COFFEE? COFFEE! COFFEEEEEEEEEE #Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

I dig this spaceship cafeteria! #Monsterdon

coffee! in space! #monsterdon

"There's only one kind of monster that uses bullets: An effective altruist." #monsterdon

That rocket just gently rising into the sky. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon "There's only one type of monster that uses bullets" ....Loch Ness?

I *am* somewhat confused by the extreme reluctance to believe that people who die on a space mission might have not been murdered

Oh well, moving on

#Monsterdon

Sliding in for #Monsterdon

Well hello there Ann Andersen 😁

#monsterdon

They think he went nuts and killed his entire crew and the guy's just wandering around the bridge? WTH? #Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorfromBeyondSpace

Oh now it’s nap time. #Monsterdon #FosterKittens #CatsOfMastodon

VFX crew is working for it in this one 👏👏👏 #Monsterdon

little billy’s model rocket was never seen again #monsterdon

@aburka I think Octoman made an early appearance too

Does a shadow count though?

#Monsterdon

And don't you come at me with "magnets are the real monsters"
#monsterdon

Aww! Second expedition to Mars in 1971! How cute! Gotta love the b.s. optimism for space travel and technology in the early 50s as we were all staring-down nuclear Armageddon...

#Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

Dumping empty crates overboard?
#monsterdon

Oops - I left the airlock open. My bad.

#Monsterdon

early monster appearance! #monsterdon

Oh hey look monster feet! This early in the movie! #Monsterdon

Monster at 04:38!! Is that a new #monsterdon record?

So this movie is about Martian Sasquatch? #Monsterdon
#ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

CHIBIEST GODZILLA!

#monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

Could... Could the projectionist get that hair off the bottom of the film? :/ #Monsterdon

Looks like 1973 is the far future tonight, kiddos.
#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

First man to be shot into space too, wow space happens quickly in this universe

#Monsterdon

@trixter THRILL as they CALL ROLL! #Monsterdon

Let's start with a long exposition monologue, as with all great sci fi #monsterdon

Mars looks like a Bob Ross space painting ... at least in the colourised version #Monsterdon

Mars have some nice local galaxies

#monsterdon

@sneaka haha well I am deeply impressed

#Monsterdon

"Alive with ... death"

#Monsterdon

@sneaka woww that's impressive, clearly you are in the right place 👏

#Monsterdon

Vogue Pictures presents .... strike a monster pose!

#Monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

IT! IS HAPPENING

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

The torrent for #monsterdon finished at exactly 6:00 and i think that is a sign

#MonsterdonAlert

#monsterdon

GO GO GO!!

WE HAVE MARTIAN SIIIIIIIIIIGN

#monsterdon #ItTheTerrorFromBeyondSpace

@Taweret Thanks once again Taweret and all for the rootin' tootin' tootin' and riffin' ! #Monsterdon

@brion I remember reading Kubrick had similar intentions with the nuclear-powered rockets in 2001, as well! Hence the long, vertebrae-esque shape of The Discovery One separating the astronauts from the radiation!

#ItTheTerrorFromOuterSpace

@diazona @paco 🤣🤣🤣 They'd probably end up just literally dropping a remake of The Fat Man a-bomb on a lower level of the ship from the stairwell! While smoking three cigarettes at once! #Monsterdon

@otheorange_tag @xoagray AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 🥬
